Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Stuffed Shells – pasta shells filled with chicken, broccoli, cheese, and alfredo sauce! A kid favorite and so easy!

I call it a win any time I can get my kids to all agree on one veggie filled dish. Even if the dishes have to be covered in alfredo and stuffed into huge pasta shells!

We love these Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Stuffed Shells in my house.

My kids love them because they’re delicious and I love them because they’re as easy as stirring together a few ingredients and spooning them into the pasta. Then you just bake until the filling is bubbly!

If you’re looking for another veggie filled kid-friendly dinner idea, my Asian Beef Noodles are another favorite!

Can You Make Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Stuffed Shells Ahead?

Yes! If you need to make these Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Stuffed Shells the night before, prepare them up until the part where you bake them. Cover them tightly with foil (or a lid to whatever pan you’re using) and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.

They may need a few extra minutes since they’ll be cold so just check for the filling to be bubbly and the cheese to be melted.

Can You Freeze Stuffed Shells?

Yes, you can freeze stuffed shells. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze for a couple hours, until they’re frozen. From there, you can put them in a freezer ziploc bag or other freezer safe container.

These stuffed shells will be good in the freezer for up to 3 months.

To cook from frozen, place them in a baking dish and bake according to the recipe, adding 10 minutes or so. Just watch for the filling to bubble so you know everything is heated through.
